“Hats off to our great soldiers who sacrifice their youth and life to keep us in comfort zones۔ Any facility under sky is far less to them to compensate the services they provide to us,” commented a Twitter user. “How beautiful is this? Salute to their sacrifices,” said another. “A song that always brings tears,” posted a third.
The song ‘Sandese Aate Hai’ was sung by Roopkumar Rathod and Sonu Nigam. It became an all-time favourite of people associated with the defence forces as it embodies the spirit of the sacrifices of the families of military personnel.
Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Jackie Shroff and Akshaye Khanna starred in the film. The JP Dutta directorial, based on the Battle of Longewala during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, was released on June 13, 1997.
